Saiho-ji Zen Garden

Saiho-ji is one of the earliest extant gardens to be associated with
Zen thought. It is popularly known as Kokedera (Moss Temple)
because of the prevailing ground cover of the garden - over 120 varieties
of moss are represented here. The garden is said to be the earliest
example of karesansui and to have been designed by Muso Soseki.
